Five independent candidates, including former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, emerged victorious in the UK general elections with a focus on Israel’s conflict in Gaza.

Results

Other successful independent candidates were Shockat Adam, Ayoub Khan, Adnan Hussain, and Iqbal Mohamed.

Both major parties, Conservatives and Labour, expressed desires for peace in Gaza but supported Israel's right to self-defense, causing discontent among pro-Palestine and Muslim voters.

Newly-elected Labour leader Keir Starmer faced protests chanting "Free Palestine" during the election, while Corbyn won reelection in Islington North.

Corbyn emphasized the need for a government dedicated to peace on the global stage and resolving the Gaza crisis.

He considered the election outcome a signal for change and accountability in governance.

Adam and Mohamed defeated Labour candidates, focusing on Gaza's ceasefire and representing constituents' concerns.

Hussain, triumphing in Blackburn, vowed to advocate against the injustices in Gaza ignored by the government.

Corbyn's leadership of Labour, marked by policy popularity and challenges, reshaped the party's stance but faced criticism, leading to his resignation in 2019.

The contentious issues during Corbyn's leadership, including Brexit and anti-Semitism allegations, led to his suspension in 2020 amidst internal party conflicts.

Corbyn stood as an independent candidate to champion equality, democracy, and peace in the elections.
